Sad Day for Slackline

It is with a somber heart that we say fare well to a friend and promoter of slackline and Slackline Brothers since our humble beginings. Mr. Tobi Blank. Tobi passed away over the weekend .

He was the biggest kid of all! Conducting business from his slackline, at times flinging or falling on his cell phone! Giving those of us at the other end a most interesting audio experince!

He too could be found elbowing his way through the bivi of kids at our lines at Teva Mountain Games, Ford Adventure Weekend, and at the Phoenix Boulder Blast. Often requesting us to set up more lines so he could have his turn all the time! And thus introducing slackline to these and other outdoor events.

Thank you Tobi for your mentoring friendship and passion for slackline. We wont forget you.

Our hearts go out to all his family and close friends who will miss him most. Peace.
